@kikyo-weekend
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Kikyo Weekend! We are overjoyed to see all the love for our priestess in a variety of medias!
Missed out on participating? This blog is always open and late submissions are always accepted! Please feel free to tag the blog so we can share your work!
We hope to see everyone again next year!
If you don't know, this weekend is Kikyo weekend! The theme is Aurora, and today's prompt is "Harmony & Unity" so this just felt fitting! I've had this sketch on the backburner for a few months now, and finally decided to finish it up for the occasion! It was really spontaneous, but I figured, why not?
I've been pondering when to unveil this ship, since I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I figured it was the perfect time!
This is absolutely gorgeous!! Kikyo deserves all the love, and you've depicted her and Toshi beautifully! Their unity beneath the aurora is breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing!!
For @kikyo-weekend Day Three
Prompt: Renewal - The aurora's ever-changing nature can symbolize the cyclical process of renewal and transformation.
Look at our beautiful girl!! Loved that you chose the color red for her! Beautiful imagery and a perfect way to celebrate Kikyo during MerMay!
Renewal
For day 3 of @kikyo-weekend (the weekend is far beyond us now)
Prompt: Renewal
I had so much fun exploring Baby Kikyo this year! And I always look forward to this event coming around again 🥰
The renewal of spring is Kikyo’s favorite time of year.
Yes, many plants she needs for healing only grow at this time, but beyond her studies and preparations for her Miko duties, Kikyo just loves to find a soft, warm feild to play in.
And this year, she has a new friend ❤️
LOOK AT THEM!! Young Kikyo sharing a moment with a young Kaede - before any of the canon angst has disrupted their lives - is such a lovely moment to see. We adore how you've depicted a carefree Kikyo looking after her sister. Thank you so much for creating such lovely pieces!
Harmony and Unity
For @kikyo-weekend day 2! (IM SO LATE!!)
Babies are something she’ll have to know a lot about one day, Kikyo knows.
That’s just part of being a Miko.
But for now, her only experience is her future sibling, still living in unity with their mother.
Her favorite thing to do is curl up around her mother’s belly and dream about the day there will be another around.
A brother? A sister? A miko? A monk?
She doesn’t care either way, she just knows these moments when they’re all three in perfect harmony are as sweet as can be.
We definitely do not get enough of young Kikyo nor her feelings surrounding Kaede. Such a sweet piece that demonstrates them both!
Amazing banner, chapter 1 & chapter 2 by @kirrtash.
Thank you so much for bringing this world to life in ways I could never imagine💜
Ruined
The aurora had not descended this low in five hundred years. It hung like a wound, rippling across the horizon, green and blue, violet, then sickly white. It pressed against the world like a pulse out of rhythm. Kikyo stood on the tower’s spine of stone, high above the sea of frost below, her eyes fixed on the sky’s shiver. She could feel it. Not in her mind, not in her scars. In her bones. A warning passed down through the bloodlines of the old mages. When the aurora trembles, the veil tears.
Written for @kikyo-weekend event.
May 2nd: Guidance & Protection
May 3rd: Harmony & Unity
May 4th: Renewal
💚✨💙✨Thank you so much for hosting! 💜✨🤍✨
This has been such a compelling story. The heartache, the angst, the stolen kiss, and the darkness that solidified Kikyo's prison. Beautifully well-written, and the ending pulled at our heartstrings - Inuyasha's words, Kikyo avenging him with her rage, and her rebirth. We especially loved the mirrored image of the aurora versus the sacred jewel. A piece that really centered on Kikyo's character and her love that perhaps opened up those prison gates. Thank you so much for writing this <3
Another piece inspired by @jewel-shard's stunning fanfic ruined!
I loved working on this one and figuring out how to bend my skills and materials to portrait this moment in all its heartbreaking power 💔
What an amazing depiction of this fic!! Dark and heartwrenching, but shows Kikyo in such a unique light! Thank you for helping bring this imagery to life!
Protection
For @kikyo-weekend Day One (A DAY LATE!!)
Prompt: Protection
There are MANY things young Kikyo is expected to learn as she trains to be a Miko!
The one thing that takes her the least amount of practice?
Protecting the Weak.
AHHH! Look at our sweet little Kikyo! We adore how you brought her back into childhood to protecting the cute little animals. She was always meant to guide & protect, wasn't she? Thank you so much for sharing!
Kikyo redraw for Kikyo Weekend!
The original picture:
Look at our beautiful girl!! Talented as always, Eliza! We love the light you brought to her and the way you depicted her pose - strong and beautiful - was spot on! Thank you so much for sharing!
This last month I had the absolute privilege of working with @jewel-shard on her @kikyo-weekend project (meaning she granted me early reading of her draft and I got aaaaall the juicy inspiration!)
Here is my vision for her incredible Kikyo, from Ruined on AO3!
This story is heartbreaking in all the best ways, fresh and different in setting but so perfectly close to the characters and their dynamics in the canon! Sadly time is not on my side these days, but I could read it a thousand times and find a new inspiration on each read ❤ I had to pick my absolute favourites and Kikyo's tattoos were top of the list, her power, marks and cage all at the same time, they were such a fun challenge!
frames under the cut!
What an incredible depiction of Kikyo from @jewel-shard's fic Ruined. Jewel left us speechless with her crafted world that already has us invested - and you were able to breathe life into the Kikyo who stands at the veil. We especially loved the touch of the ruins glowing! Thank you so much to you both for sharing!!
